D.McCurdy and the life story of this still vigorous (积极的), distinguished Canadian is at once and at the same time the thrilling history of aviation’s progress in Canada.

It all began one cold February day in 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, when John McCurdy confounded(击败) the critics by flying the Silver Dart, an aircraft designed by himself, for half a mile over the ice of Brasdeor Lakes. This was the first powered flight in Canada and the first by a British subject in the Commonwealth. McCurdy gave proof of his flying ability-and of the development and the use of the aileron by being the first man in the world to carry out a figure eight in the air. He became the first to pilot a flying boat, taking off from Long Island Sound. He flew the first airplane to Mexico. In 1911 he had made the longest flight to date, and that over open sea 90 miles from Key West to Havana. He won the first cross country race in Canada 40 miles from Hamilton to Toronto-and he transmitted the first radio message from aircraft.

When World WarⅡcame, McCurdy took on board supervisory(监督) authority for Canadian aircraft production by serving with the government in various senior positions.

Following World WarⅡ, McCurdy was honored by being made lieutenant governor (政府顾问) of Nova Scotia where he made Canada’s first historic flight. He now lives in Montreal with a summer home in Baddeck, site of his first flight.

“Tear’em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee(裁判)！”

These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports

terms.

The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent ”is “adversary”: “enemy” “one who opposes your interests.” Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one’s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross (rude), may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”

In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from (goes against) normal behavior.

Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.

The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”

72．Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?

A．Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences B．The words people use can influence their behavior

C．Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes

D．Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field 73．Harsh words are spoken during games because the players . A．are too eager to win

B．are usually short-tempered and sassily offended C．cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D．treat their rivals as enemies

74．What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?

A．He refused to continue the game. B．He angrily hit the referee with a ball C．He claimed that the referee was unfair.

D．He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt

75．The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by .

A．calling on players to use clean language on the court B．raising the referee’s sense of responsibility

C．changing the attitude of players on the sports field
